Description
In the previous lesson, students were introduced to the concept of the logarithm by finding the power to which it is necessary to raise a base 𝑏 in order to produce a given number, which was originally called the WhatPower𝑏 function. In this lesson and the next, students build their own base-10 logarithm tables using their calculators. By taking the time to construct the table themselves (as opposed to being handed a pre-prepared table), students have a better opportunity to observe patterns in the table and practice MP.7. These observed patterns lead to formal statements of the properties of logarithms in upcoming lessons.
